February 4th 2005 - I got the job!


Got a leafleting job interview today - went fine ^_^ And what's more, thanks to a black cardigan bought today for £1.50, a pair of second-hand pinstripe trousers and a shirt I bought two years ago for a university interview, they say I dress smartly enough to do leafleting at a high school (they want me to be smart for this because I have to pretend I'm an English teacher from the company!). They told me outright that the reason they wanted to employ people like me was because having "gaikokujin" (the politically correct term for "gaijin") working for them gives them a good image. Who says appearances don't count for anything? :) Although this does mean I will have to...tone-down my image a little. Although they said that when I'm leafleting outside the company office there's no dress code, I still think my spiky dog collar and wristband, which I wear every day, will have to stay at home on work days. Though I think I can get away with New Rocks ;)
